Indian Creek

We stayed here twice, and loved it both times. Easy access to the camp spots, nice and grassy, and fairly quiet. We have never had trouble getting our big rig in, although watch out for dips and ruts in the road. Lots of bird watching, and the flowers in summer are beautiful. There is a boat dock, and a few more locals will show up on the weekends. The closest town is Alpine, Wy at about 15 miles.
You can camp right next to the lake if you choose to. There were mosquito's in some places however.

We stayed here thanks to the reviews we read here and we're so glad we did! We arrived on a Saturday evening and didn't have a hard time finding a spot, although there were about 20 other people camped here. By Sunday night it was just us and one other trailer (about 400 yards away) for the next two nights.

We chose a spot very close to the water and enjoyed taking our chairs down to the water's edge at sunset for happy hour. If you have a kayak or SUP you'll love this place! The one downside is that there aren't many hiking options directly from the campsite as the woods around are so thick and there aren't any defined trails. The gorgeous views, privacy and reliable cell service more than made up for that issue though. We had 2 bars of LTE without the booster, and 3 bars with the booster. Speeds were good enough for video calls without an issue.

The roads throughout the area are very driveable with just a few potholes. Very infrequently you can hear trucks driving on the nearby road (using their engine breaks as they come down the hill) but it was very faint.

This is a really neat area to camp in because it offers so many options for your campsite. The road comes straight off of US Hwy 26, so it is very easy to find and access. The main road then goes straight toward the reservoir for a miles or two. As you drive down the road there will be small secluded campsites tucked into trees and dirt road shooting off to the sides were more primitive campsites can be found. As you get closer to the water there are some really big flat grassy campsites that can accommodate big groups (we saw 6 fivers comfortably in one) and then finally you get to the rocky area right on the water were we chose to stay. It is my understanding that the water in spring is very high and these sites are underwater, but around Labor Day when we were there the water had uncovered tons of water front camping opportunities.

This area is very popular, particularly among OHVer's. On Labor Day there were dozens of dirt bikes, ATV's and other vehicles bounding around the mud and hard packed dirt of the waterfront areas. They gave us a pretty wide berth, even though we were right in a prime off-roading area, and it was mainly just families and kids having a good time - no complaints here.

The area as a whole is really big and despite there being at least 50 other rigs there at the peak of the holiday weekend, there was still plenty of space to far from your neighbors. The downside to the popularity is the litter. There was an incomparable amount of trash here, we cleaned 4 full trash bags worth and it barely made a dent but it was all we were able to haul out so we had to stop.

The bird watching is really good here too, lots of pelicans live here and we saw a few adolescent bald eagles. There is a make shift boat ramp that is really just an old road that was covered by the reservoir. At this time of year it was uncovered enough to work really well as a ramp, we saw people launching a variety of sizes of boats using this road.

This was a great place for us to spend a week getting work done, but if you're looking for seclusion this may not be for you. The cell service is good and gets better the closer you get to the water.

Unfortunately we arrived just before labor day weekend and the lake was well down that late in the season. Not very scenic at that point, then add to it the hundreds of dirt bikes and quads running around stirring up all sorts of dust... well, we moved on after only a single night. Right across the highway is Forest Rd 281 with 10X better camping spots along a nice rambling creek.Unless you like dust and trash that is, then you will like it at this spot.

My family loved this site! The views all around were absolutely amazing. Maybe it was the time of year (late September), but it was wide open...just us and five other campers in the entire area, with the nearest neighbor a couple hundred yards away. Totally dark. Totally silent.
The road in is a little bumpy in spots, but there was plenty of level ground to camp. A handful of shaded areas, but none I wanted to pull our Class A into, although I'm sure you could. I had hoped for a shaded spot to block the sun, but it didn't matter. There was a beautiful breeze that kept us cool enough in the daytime without the A/C. It was way too muddy to go down to the water, but that didn't stop our boys. They had a blast trudging along in the mud and getting stuck, and we had a blast watching them.
You can tell this is a spot for ATV's because there are tracks everywhere, but we only saw 1 or 2, and never actually heard them. At night one of the Jackson Hole locals, who turned out to be a Japanese reality TV star (no joke, he shared the videos) came by our site on a dirt bike and asked to warm his feet by our campfire. He told us about a hot spring down by the water that only surfaces every once in a long while. We never ventured down to it, but it just added to the intrigue to the place.
10 or so minutes down the road is a gas station with dump site, plus a number of local bars, restaurants, post office, hardware store, etc.
We would definitely camp here again, assuming it wasn't too crowded. Awesome spot!

I stayed here on my way into the southern entrance to Grand Teton and Yellowstone, now coming back here again. Easy big rig stopping place, lotsa flat areas. Ruts and potholes in the usual places. Nice views, just a day user or two, wide open. The reservoir seems low now and that makes a long beach. I plan on a two day stop over. This place is a nice budget balancer location after in park rates.

The dirt road has few potholes but not a problem with my travel trailer. If you arrive there at night, it’s hard to find all of the parking spaces. No street lights. I parked in front of the restroom. It was all right until the next morning. Many campers started using the restroom and I felt uncomfortable. So I left there after a quick breakfast. There is a big pothole in front of the entrance. So be careful. There was a little bit of road noise but it’s not a problem.

I worked remotely all week here. Had to use my weboost drive reach part of the time. Otherwise I used my little booster. Att was on average of 12bps up and download. Sometimes higher or lower. Verizon was harder to use with webcam and kept coming in with around 1 mbps download specifically.

This site is one of the most beautiful I've ever stayed at. Only an hour from the Tetons and around amazing hiking.

The birdwatching here is insanely good.

On the weekends suddenly it became like a redneck off-road music festival out of nowhere. I counted at least 100 people here. Big rigs. Boats. Tents. The whole 9 yards. They destroyed the place literally. The dirt road by the lake is now three times the size it was with deeply rutted mud where an f250 got stuck. That road will never be the same. The grass will never grown there again. These people have no respect for the environment or anyone else. I've been minding my own business but as I drive by no one waves back. Wtf? Rude as hell.

This campground is in a BEAUTIFUL area, Nestled between mountains and lake it should have been a perfect spot. to those traveling in a camper/RV I would definitely recommend. Unfortunately we were tent camping and that’s why we ran into problems. First, the space is completely Infested with mosquitos (not surprising near the lake, but it was BAD). We had to put a LOT of effort into protecting ourselves, tent, car from mosquitos entering. Just, everywhere. Second, the restrooms were disgusting. I know there’s only so much to do about the smell but when I opened the lid so many flies came out that I walked right out and chose to pee in the bushes. THEN, just as we’re about to cook dinner on our portable grill, someone (who we assume looks after the area) drove around to alert everyone in tents that there were active cougars in the area and that they’d rip straight through our tent! Since it was just before dark and to be safe, we didn’t cook, broke down the tent, and slept in the car 😑 not an ideal situation AT ALL and we were very disappointed. So TIPS: don’t bother tent camping here, but anyone that can safely tuck away into an RV to sleep/eat/pee will enjoy the absolutely perfect views. Also a caution: some of the pathways closer to the lake that lead around to the different site spots were deep muddy trenches. Sites aren’t signified by number but by a fire ring. Now that I look back at the photos, they are slightly misleading because they imply that the field is clear, but on the day we were there the grass was very unmaintained and tall (probably making the mosquito issue that much worse) FINALLY, the campground is just off a mountain highway so the sound of big rigs barreling down the mountain happens all day and night.

This area is nice enough for a free spot but there are no amenities other than the spot to camp, a pair of bathrooms, and the access to the lake. It's a fine spot but the bugs are pretty bad and the highway can be pretty loud.
